The 6 Essential Must-Haves: Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)

The rapid growth of cloud-native applications has popularized the use of cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs), which seek to unify cloud security with cloud scalability demands. However, the approach to consolidation that CNAPP helps deliver is not a guarantee of successful cloud security. To be successful when selecting a CNAPP solution, it’s important to consider a few essential key attributes. 

This complimentary white paper details the six core must-haves of CNAPPS, including: 

• Comprehensive Asset Visibility and Context: Look for a CNAPP solution that provides both the visibility that the CTO and DevOps require and vulnerability and asset context, which is an absolute must for any CISO.  

• Integrated Threat Detection and Response: Integrated threat detection and response capabilities are crucial for identifying and mitigating advanced cloud threats. CNAPPs should leverage machine learning (ML) and AI learning to bolster anomaly detection and risk-based prioritization. 

• Compliance Management: A robust CNAPP should support policy-driven security via its cloud security posture management (CSPM) module, allowing organizations to define and enforce security policies consistently across their cloud environments. 

• AI-powered, Contextual Analysis: Generative AI systems are increasingly under attack, making it essential to defend the AI systems and workloads. You must use AI to defend AI.
